Searching for a new clasp
Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago I got a Traska Venturer GMT that I absolutely love. However, my only real gripe is that the clasp has no on the fly micro adjustment. My wrist swells and contracts a lot during a given day ranging between 5.9” and 6.3” so either my watch is jangling around or cutting off circulation. For this reason I usually always wear my watch on a strap, but don’t want to do that with this one as I love the look of the bracelet. I was considering replacing the clasp with an aftermarket one that has micro adjustment but I’ve never gone this route. I was wondering if anyone had any experience or recommendations with regard to changing the clasp?

Wow, the watch looks great 😱 the problem is finding a matching bracelet (or you go for straight ends, like a milanaise). I always buy from strapcode or uncle strap. But I only buy bracelets that are made for the specific model. Although Strapcode has some great straight ends bracelets
Just exchanging the clasp... Well maybe some small watchmaker could pull that off... But I think its easier replacing the bracelet
If the clasp is 16mm, then your options are non existent to find a suitable clasp with on the fly adjustment.
Other option can be if the midlink measures 9mm, you could get a rolex clasp with on the fly adjustment from Aliexpress and try it with this bracelet.

I measured it and yes it is 9mm. I just ordered this clasp and hopefully it works. Will keep posted
